I see quite a few negative reviews on these earbuds, and I believe it's because people have the wrong expectation. If you're looking for work earbuds that are portable and sound clear on calls, these are it. Some may be better for certain situations (e.g. Shockz) but are either more expensive, less portable, or both. These provide you with decent audio and a microphone that is comparable to using your phone directly. They do not produce audiophile-qulity sound. They are the ONLY alternative to a clunky headset or external microphone that I've found so far, and my tests have included some very expensive earbuds as well as earpiece-style devices that should have done better (e.g. Plantronics Voyager). With that in mind, pros and cons below: Pros: - Great microphone (by bluetooth headphone standards) - Good enough audio quality for conversations or basic recreational use - Great battery life, both in-use and from the case - USB-C charging (unlike Plantronics which uses a proprietary charger) - Comfortable, and stays in ear, especially with the help of included adjustable fins - Bluetooth Multipoint. For a headset at this price point, this is a fantastic feature and works well across my MacBook and Android phone. - Removable microphone so you can use them like regular buds - Small and looks more modern than a full on headset when worn - Price. I got these when they were on sale for ~$40, but at their full price of $80 I still think they are worth it - Customizable controls (although they are still pretty bad, see below) Cons: - The case is enormous and not pocketable at all. If you're carrying it, you need some kind of bag. The 55+ hour rated battery life is great, but I'd much rather half that and be able to put it in my pocket. - The case cover is magnetic, and feels a bit weak. I worry it will come off if I throw it in a bag, but so far it's been fine - Controls are dreadful - I don't love the tap control for everything. e.g. tap once for volume up, twice for volume down, etc. With only one tap surface and no swipe controls, I would have preferred physical buttons. I basically need to use the host device (e.g. phone/laptop) to control the volume. These are customizable but the premise of having to tap something potentially 3 times is pretty annoying, and the detection of taps isn't great either. - Proper in-ear detection. It seems like a software choice, because in-ear detection works when you first take them out of the case (they don't connect until you put them in your ear), but they don't disconnect when you remove them. This is kind of a nitpick and normally I wouldn't even include this, but it is preventing me from using a smaller case without the charger. The minute I put them in my ear, they will connect and stay connected unless I manually disconnect them from my device, or put them into a the charging case. Review: Great for the office and beyond - Someone recommended these to me for work and I am a fan. The basics are all there - the charging case is sturdy, it can store both the earbuds and the boom mic, comes with all the ear tips and other pieces to make them fit right. But probably the best thing about these is that they can connect to multiple devices. So I can listen to music from my computer and then answer a call from my phone without any nonsense. The earbuds stay connected and jump to whatever device is needed. You can also use just one earbud at a time if you want to have the other ear available to talk to people in the office without having to remove them. And the boom mic is directional, noise cancelling, and picks up your voice really well. Regarding some of the few dings people are giving: As a former audio engineer, I am not sure why people are saying the sound isn't anything but great. When playing music, the bass is full and sound is clear. EQ and other settings can be easily changed with the phone app. And while the earbuds themselves are not noise cancelling, the fit is good enough that these work great on a plane and they don't hurt my ears over time, which has not been the case with other earbuds I've had. The only small improvement they could make - I notice that some of their other models have an integrated charging cable. That might have been a nice little feature, but I have plenty of charging cables all over so not a big deal at all (and probably just one less thing to break).

Like is it optional?** A: Yes, you can. Can be heard pretty clear when you talk without it, but the noise cancelation is way better with the boom mic. And not big and awkward , getting in the way, it's pretty small. Definitely recommend. **Q: Is there a possibility to mute the mic in between calls using the buttons on the buds?** A: no **Q: Do these earbuds have sidetone so that I can hear my own voice coming through the earbuds during phone calls / video calls?** A: They do not **Q: Is there any way to mute the mic on these buds?** A: no ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The ONLY earbuds with a decent microphone *by E***K on April 8, 2025* TL;DR: Get these if you are prioritizing microphone quality - they really are the only good option out there, especially in this form factor.

Recommended! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ JLab Work Buds are pretty good.. *by D***. on March 29, 2025* Pros: - They have average sound quality that can be tweaked to slightly above average due to the app you can download on your phone. - They have multipoint connection, so you can be connected to two devices at once.. like your computer and smartphone, setting it up is easy enough.. you pair it to your first device, disconnect it and pair it to the second device then just enable the first device again. - I was told my mic quality was good enough for talking through Steam when watching a movie with a friend. Again, the app has settings that you can tweak to make it the best experience for you. - The value for money, these things used to be $80 but now can be had for as low as $40.. probably even lower during one of many Amazon seasonal sales.. - Battery life is solid, lasting at least 6 hours on a single charge before needing to be topped up again in the added case.. bonus points for allowing the mic to be placed inside the case alongside the earbuds, no matter which side you put it on. Cons: - The only con I can truly think of is the ear fatigue you can get when wearing these for long periods of time, if you want a proper seal with these earbuds, you'll have to use the larger earbuds and wingtips to achieve that (in my opinion anyway, the standard ones that were installed were too small) and it put pressure on the insides of your ears.. though with time, this issue might subside (I've only been using em for about two days now..) ## Frequently Bought Together - JLab Work Buds in-Ear True Wireless Headset with Detachable Noise-Canceling Boom Mic, Black, Long 55+ Total Hours Playtime, Bluetooth Multipoint, USB-C Charging Dock - Logitech H390 Wired Headset for PC/Laptop, Stereo Headphones with Noise Cancelling Microphone, USB-A, In-Line Controls, Works with Chromebook - Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/766900063-work-buds-in-ear-true-wireless-headset-with-detachable-noise](https://www.desertcart.be/products/766900063-work-buds-in-ear-true-wireless-headset-with-detachable-noise) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
